Heroes Lyrics - My Favorite Picture Of You - Guy Clark

He brought the war home with him 

Still got sand in his boots 

Hes wrestling with the demons in the cold, hard truth 

As some may write about him, he came back different 

Something in his eyes said hed seen to much 

Something in his legs said hed had enough 

[CHORUS:] 

Heroes, everybody needs heroes 

Even heroes need a little help 

Heroes cant always be heroes 

Whos gonna save the hero from himself? 

Got a picture from Bagdad of him and his buddies 

And his horsing around, getting ready 

One by one, he watched em die 

Just scared kids, and he dont know why 

Hes the only one to make it out alive 

[CHORUS] 

Ten thousand clicks away in his head 

He can smell the smoke, he could smell the dead 

Silver Star and a pistol in a drawer 

Morphine just aint working no more 

[CHORUS]
